Hurray for RIDE Magazine....at last
« on: April 08, 2017, 10:35:48 »
At last the VStrom 1000 gets a great review. I've always thought its been overlooked or even dismissed by the bike journalists, but in the new edition of RIDE the two VStroms get great reviews. The 1000 figures really well in the best all rounder only slightly behind the GS, 1290 KTM and 950 Multstrada (see the graphic in the mag).

Well done RIDE.  :clap:

I read the article too and agree the review was very positive.

Yes I know I expect it will happen soon it's just the price we're negotiating  :eusa-doh: he needs to drop it as it's high miles for a 2015 bike

 lol
OK I've seen it now didn't buy it though read it on the Readly app.  :thumb:
Like the graphic explains things nicely. Might know by the end of the day if I'm getting a 1000 again. Been telling my mate the 650 is better for years but I really like the looks of the new ones  :lala:
